 ► External FoodBucks

External FoodBucks can be added to all Meal Membership Plans in the amounts of $100, $300, or $500 and are refundable (less a $25 administration fee). Fees for these plans will be added to the first term residence payment. You can use your External FoodBucks at these off-campus locations. This is a great solution for campus shut-down during breaks - available for dine in, pick up, or delivery. Please contact Food Services for more information at dining_services@umanitoba.ca.

 ► Mary Speechly Hall and Pembina Hall Residence

Residence students can enjoy the savings and convenience of a complete Meal Membership Plan within the residence complex. Menus are designed to satisfy appetites and nutrition standards at the lowest cost per meal on campus. The Pembina Hall Dining Room offers 19 meals per week - breakfast, lunch, and dinner on weekdays; brunch and dinner on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. FoodBucks are added to each Plan to buy meals/snacks in dining areas across campus. Bag lunches are available upon request.

Three tax-free Meal Membership Plans are available for the academic year:

• 10 Meals/week Plan - Meals at Pembina Hall Dining Room and includes $500 FoodBucks
• 15 Meals/week Plan  - Meals at Pembina Hall Dining Room and includes $500 FoodBucks
• 7 Days unlimited Plan - Meals at Pembina Hall Dining Room and includes $125 FoodBucks

Unlimited and Pre-Set Weekly Meal Memberships

• Depending on the Meal Membership, either $125 or $500 in Bonus FoodBucks will be included and can be used throughout campus at other specified Food Services locations, including: Tim Hortons, Subway, and Starbucks to name a few.
• The FoodBucks can be carried from Term 1 into Term 2.
• All meals are to be consumed in Pembina Hall Dining Room, allowing you to re-fuel and re-connect with your fellow campus residents.
• Two Complimentary Guest Passes will be provided to you when you purchase your membership.
• Pre-Set Meal Memberships (i.e., 10 or 15 meals per week) begin every Saturday morning and run to Friday night. There is no carry-over or accumulation of meals from one week to the next. Please consider this when choosing your Membership.
• The 7-Day Unlimited Membership allows you to grab a snack, or maybe a cup of coffee or sit down and enjoy a meal as many times as you like. Statistically, this meal plan is used a great deal in the morning which indicates a healthier eating habit for the student. There is no need to create a large meal to have the sense of value as you can eat as often as you want!

 ► University College Residence

University College residents have a FoodBucks account with a pre-determined limit (similar to a bank debit card) to buy their meals in dining areas across campus, including the Pembina Hall Dining Room. Purchases are deducted automatically from the student's meal membership account. Students can eat at any University of Manitoba Food Services location including Subway, Tim Hortons, Fresh Food Company, and all other retail locations.

 ► Food Services Videos

ARAMARK contracted some of our students to produce a video promoting food services on campus. We feel they did a great job and the YouManitoba channel on YouTube (administered by Public Affairs) has now included the 5-minute video. The video is also part of the Student Residence Handbook content.

This second video includes information about catering, weddings and conference, but after the intro, the first segment follows a residence student through the Fresh Food Company in the Pembina Hall Dining Hall. 

 ► Pembina Hall Dining Hall - Fresh Food Company

Pembina Hall features the Fresh Food Company® - an open-kitchen, Marché Style Service* modeled after a European marketplace and featuring upscale, authentic foods all prepared fresh, in front of your eyes, instead of behind the scenes in the kitchen. Quantity cooking and mass production methods will be a thing of the past. The Fresh Food Company®is all about the food!

At the heart of the Fresh Food Company® is flexibility and freshness. Every day at each station we change the menus and the merchandising of the concept. Fresh product is delivered directly to each station and the food is prepared or “finished” in sight of our customers and diners. Every server is trained to engage the customers in making choices: seasonings, sauces, and ingredients. Each visit to the Fresh Food Company® is an “all you care to eat” experience.

Fresh Food Company® concepts include: The Deli Shop, Produce Market, Home Zone, Spice, Pembina Grill, Bakery, Pizza/Pasta Station, and an Omelette or Stir Fry Station.

* An open market atmosphere where diners can visit different stations and be served or assisted.
